Looks great! I am also having a revision done with Dr Chris. Internal bra and implant exchange! How was recovery this time around?

Much easier honestly. I will say that day two was TERRIBLE around the ribs. Try to have a few bras ready to go BEFORE surgery. This time around, you'll want good firm support as "dropping and fluffing" is the last thing you want LOL.

Lot's of burning near the ribs on day 2. Try to insist on good painkillers - don't try to just handle it with Tylenol w/ Codein. You'll feel good by day 4.

I wear a bra 24/7 even past the 2 month mark, because I'm not letting these puppies drop again.

When i went to my last consultation with him, I noticed he prescribes tylenol with codeine instead of vicodin like before...did you use same implants?? I plan on going from 350cc hp to 480 uhp

Went with the same implants because I love my size and have heavily invested in my current bra size lol. And ues, was given just tylenol with codeine at first. On day 2, the pain was searing and I complained, so he gave me Vicodin. Doctors are so stingy with the "good stuff" because a few bad apples had to abuse it. It's unfortunate!

Did Dr P charge you for the revision? I had a consultation with him and really liked him, but I’ve seen at 3 women on here who bottomed out. I didn’t really ask what his policy is on revision. Was he really good with following up and attentive to your concerns? I’m considering either him or Dr Placik. so hard to decide honestly!

Everything looks great. I can wear so many more bras now. Very happy with the new shape. Scars stayed right in the crease. Used silicone strips to get them to heal flat. Overall, ecstatic.

I'm a bit bottomed out.. but everyone I show tells me they look super natural and not to do a revision. I'm just not sure yet. The bottomed out issue bothers me for 2 reasons:
1) the scars sit a bit too high on my boobs.
2) too much lower pole makes it *hard* to find bras that don't allow my nipples to creep out the top of the bra.
Ascetically, they look nice IMHO. They've come a *LONG* way.... 32A to 32DD. Not bad!

Wow yours look a lot better than mine. I also have bottoming out and my scars are terrible. I also got mine done by dr p. It is super upsetting to know a revision is in my near future. Now I do believe the costs of these type of surgeries. It is common to get multiple. Has everything improved for you since then? Will you be going with dr P again?

Honestly I think that I had the bottom tissue scored too much because f the restrictive tissue. Also, I think I should have been told to wear a wired bra to prevent the new crease from failing. From what I read, when a crease is lowered, you need to support it more than just a sports bra. As for the scarring... Not happy at all. I noticed right away that one wasn't looking too "tightly stitched" as the other. I will probably go elsewhere for the revision. Do you have before after pics to post?

Go & see another PS who has excellent credentials! Your BA looks great but, your right....scars show & hard to fit into demi bras or low cut dresses.
I'm sure you will have a great revision & very pleased with your results!
Special thoughts & blessings to you! :-)

I'm sorry I didn't reply to you - I never saw the notification. You're exactly right, and thanks for the well wishes :)

I’ve been thinking about seeing dr p but I feel like a lot of his outcomes turn out like this. the shape is beautiful and they still look great but I see what you mean with the slight bottoming out.

Hi HoopLord - I think I was "over scored" which caused this, but I think I had such little breast tissue to start with, that it was a risk that either I bottom out from too much scoring, or the tissue doesn't get released enough and I get a weird shape. Thankfully my revision went well.. You should check out my revision review.

What does "over scored" mean?
User Avatar

I had fairly constricted breast tissue -- they weren't small "round" boobs... they were small and very mildly tubular. Take a look at my pre-op size. He had to score the tissue inside to release the tissue and allow the implant to "round out" my breast.

I see I see. thanks for the info! I’m thinking I’m definitely gonna consult with him. was your revision with him as well?

Yes, it went really well. I'd just voice any concerns you have and ask what he recommends.
